I like this direction, but I don't think they'd hint at a baby that's 16th in line for the throne. Prince George is the more likely baby they might be referencing, but I applaud your detective work. With that being said, it's obviously a Boy George Michael late night collaboration, they both strangely have new albums coming out in March.

I think what makes this work is that the news is from this week.

Which actually could hurt too. Depending on how far in advance these clues are thought out it would make it very unlikely. Although this years clues have been super easy and almost look borderline lazy so who knows.

The hint was a rebroadcast of #6's hint. I'll keep my original post updated if she mentions a different hint next time. She usually says the hint twice, so we'll see.

The next on-air break introduced Ratatat coming up next and then playing a Childish Gambino song. Something got fucked up on the radio front. Which makes sense considering the lack of thought behind most of these clues to begin with.

King Krule and M.I.A. make the most sense to me. The baby could mean an actual baby or just referring to a young artist. I don't think it's Lorde just because they would have shown the entire New Zealand flag, not just the top left. There are a lot of good possibilities for this clue... and I like that.

EDIT: Just saw radio clue, not an individual, so that narrows it down...

We discussed the Naked and the Famous a bit on the undercard thread. Their manager said that was all the dates on their current tour but their twitter said more would be announced soon, plus they're playing in Belgium in July so they aren't completely done touring.

Lol. The Allstar Arena in Chicago. I think TNAF would be a good guess for the lineup, however, I don't think there's enough in the clue to suggest that this references them. I get it... A naked baby, but I wouldn't necessarily say royalty and fame are the same thing, who knows?! I'm also not familiar with their entire discography, do they have any album titles/ song titles that could further link them to this clue?

Personally, I saw TNAF in Chicago 2 years ago and wasn't overly impressed.

I'm not sure whether this was already mentioned but does Disclosure work? It works for all parts of the clue but I can't figure out a part for the crown.

Actually my first thought was Disclosure too.

- Not an individual- British- "Babies", i.e. newcomers- Crown? Well to be honest I thought that they won the Mercury Prize last year, but it was James Blake who won. So on second thought maybe it's not them.
